Board your boat, gather clues, and break curses to save your home
Cryptid Creeks is a ttrpg Carved from Brindlewood that combines the mystery, horror, and coming-of-age genres to emulate the media we enjoy, such as The Goonies, Gravity Falls, Night in the Woods, Stranger Things, Lumberjanes, and Hilda.

Guided by a benevolent cryptid called the Watcher, you will travel the waterways, track down Clues to dangerous Curses, and break them before it’s too late. All the while, an eldritch figure known as the Peddler schemes from the shadows, willing you to fail, and for Clawfoot to fall.
